"As Good as it Gets"
“As Good as it Gets” was the title bestowed upon the Super Street article that featured Garret’s own personal STi. Commonly known as “The World One STi,” Garret’s car was among the first STis in the country to break the 400 whp barrier, thanks to an FP Green and Phil from Element Tuning’s expertise. It was a prototype Hydra and Gary Sheehan’s awesome driving that catapulted the World One STi to take 2nd in its class and 6th place overall at the very first Primedia Time Attack in 2004, bested only by Sparco’s Evo in its class. The Do-Luck bodykit was the only one in the country for a long time, along with the high-post wing that although generated much controversy, proved to be a necessary aerodynamic part for the track, as noted by Gary Sheehan himself. Also equipped on this car was StopTech’s first STi BBK with silver calipers, along with the extremely light weight and hollow-cast Advan TC-IIs. There was no question this car was fast on the track, but it also proved itself on the show circuit as well, taking home a number of trophies, including 1st Place Subaru at the Global Import Car Show in September 2004. Much of this was in part due to the red Bride Brix seats and a custom Diamond Audio sound system.
